Join us by listening or participating on July 16th at 1200 GMT for a unique project in sound as artists from around the world stream the sounds outside their doors and windows. All streams will be combined by a main mixer into an overall stereo output and out to the main port at radio.electro-music

Being a global event, with numerous time zones, this will create a number of juxtapositions as some participants will be streaming in the day time and others at night at the same time.

If you are interested in participating in OYW please drop a line here announcing that you would like to join in. If we have a huge response then we can simply take turns on the ports and extended the length of the event if needed._________________ ElectroCasaLast edited by shanemorris on Tue Sep 20, 2011 3:44 pm; edited 3 times in total

I'll probably just stick the mics out the studio windwo and leave it running ... can't guarantee we'll be able to hear much more than wind (this IS Wyoming, after all...)_________________Try me ... ... said the Dalai Lama to the hot-dog vendor, "Make me one with everything."

At daytime, there's often people talking and kids playing on the yard below. I've gotten good results from my condenser mic before, but one issue is low frequency bursts with high amplitude caused by wind hitting the mic. Does anyone have an idea about how to counter this?

Sure, I'll mic the bird feeders. Too bad we'll miss the dawn chorus here, but at least I won't have to get up so early._________________When the stream is deep

P.S. Sign me up, and, I need to coordinate with a volunteer to (gasp) telephone or skype me, to help me set up and test the uplink... never set it up before. (Macbook Pro + cable modem) Eastern Standard Time, USA

Yes, that is possible, I'm not too worried about the resources used though.

And ... before everyone starts doing this ... it would be a bit troublesome for the mixers to have an overview over what ports are up - still I'm sure someone would mix you in when you'd announce your stream details in the chat._________________Jan

I have been rehearsing with the birds. I like Dale's idea of using a bird feeder. I will see if I can either make one or pick one up. Thanks to Dennis Mosher for remembering the discussion of this idea. It is truly an idea whose time has come!

With luck a squirrel will go after the feeders here, and then our dogs can break into a rousing chorus of, "Stop that f***ing squirrel!"_________________When the stream is deep
